The annual Visitation of the Governors takes place at the end of the summer term, when the doors of the houses in the town are decorated with young birch trees, in a way which I only remember to have seen elsewhere at the old Imperial city of Rothenburg, in Bavaria, at Whitsuntide. On the first day the buildings and property are inspected, and any necessary directions given. On the second day a Latin address, reminding one of the _Ad Portas_ at Winchester, is delivered by the Head Boy on the arrival of the Governors at the School, to which one of the Examiners replies. A roll-call in the Great Hall follows, succeeded by a commemorative service in the parish church, at which an interesting bidding prayer is repeated (see Appendix II). In the afternoon there is a prize distribution in the Great Hall, with the addition of addresses by the Head Master and the Master of the Governors, an announcement of the result of the examination for leaving exhibitions, and a list of honours obtained, which grows from year to year. Three silver pens, respectively gilt, parcel-gilt, and plain, are also presented to distinguished scholars, in accordance with the Founder’s directions. The inscription on Sir Andrew Judd’s monument in the church of St. Helen’s, Bishopsgate, is as follows:— “To Russia and Muscova To Spayne Gynny withoute Fable Traveld he by land and sea Bothe Mayre of London and Staple. The commenwelthe he norished So worthelie in all his daies That ech state fullwell him loved To his perpetuall prayes. Three wives he had: one was Mary Four sunes one mayde had he by her Annys had none by him truly By Dame Mary had one dowghter Thus in the month of September A thowsande fyve hunderd fyftey And eyght died this worthie Staplar, Worshipynge his posterytye. S’r Andrew Judd Knt.” Sir Andrew Judd’s daughter by his first wife was named Alice, and married one Thomas Smythe. She, by her will dated in 1592, left considerable bequests for the benefit of the inhabitants of the almshouses founded by her father, and for other purposes connected with the Company. Her second son was the well-known Sir Thomas Smythe, referred to later on.
